I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

301 – After Cider, of Course

-Rattle, rattle… !

The glass cup is filled with ice and carbonated water.

Quickly and accurately like a commercial dispenser.

Each cup is filled with the same amount.

I was now quite accustomed to producing carbonated water.

After all, this is already the fifth attempt…

“… This time, I’ll try reducing the sugar and adding new ingredients.”

After Seirin disappeared to hold back her burping,

I devoted myself to developing beverages.

To embody the taste I had in mind.

As a side note, Seirin did not appear again after that. She was probably just embarrassed to have been caught hiccuping rather than burping.

ㅡShoo… !

Anyway, making carbonated water and ice is now a piece of cake. Enough to close your eyes and fill several glasses at the same time.

However, the problem was the ratio of ingredients to be used in the newly developed beverage. In fact, it was closer to imitation than development.

ㅡSarreuk… !

First, I dissolved sugar in carbonated water like I did when making cider. There was a lot more sugar than expected. There was no choice in order to express the sweetness clearly.

“If you look at it like this, the colors are quite realistic, right?”

ㅡScribble, scribble!

After that, when you stir it well with a spoon, the sugar dissolves and creates a dark red color in the carbonated water.

It was like that. What I added now is not just sugar, but brown sugar. Just by dissolving brown sugar in carbonated water, the color of my favorite carbonated drink appears.

‘If you look at it like this, it’s completely coland… ‘What on earth is lacking?’

ㅡGulp, gulp… !

But unfortunately, the taste was completely different.

In this state, it is no different from cider.

Only the color became a little more special,

I couldn’t feel the unique scent and taste of cola.

Looking at it objectively, it was much more difficult to manufacture than cider.

For cider, just sugar and juice were enough,

I couldn’t get a hold of Coke at all.

Well, the recipe for ‘COX Cola’ is not secret for nothing.

Of course, I did not expect that it would be possible to achieve the same taste. I just wanted to at least imitate something similar… This is not as easy as you think.

“Shall we start by including the things that come to mind?”

ㅡSuddenly!

First, I cut the lime in half.

Instead of lemon in cider.

And if you add a small amount of baking soda to it, it will have a somewhat more appealing scent.

-Gulp… !

I immediately took a sip of this and tasted it.

The taste of sugar carbonated water close to cola.

The taste is still close to cider.

It has a stronger green taste compared to regular cider.

Still, the subtle lime flavor reminds me of a type of zero-calorie cola.

“Umm… There’s still a long way to go. Was coke too much?”

It is not easy to imitate the products of world-famous brands. If this were easy, everyone would be making the same products.

If that were the case, the ‘KO The era of great cola integration would have truly begun.

“Ugh… ! Still, the refreshing feeling is perfect… Are you saying that the scent at the tip of your nose is disappointing? It feels like something is missing…”

The lime-flavored cola I made after my fifth attempt was somewhat disappointing. It feels grandiose to call it a flavor, but it feels like it’s missing something that’s disappointing to call it a scent.

I have been wandering around until now because of the feeling that I am lacking 2%.

‘Ugh, I don’t have time to be like this.’

I also have to think about the dessert I will serve tomorrow,

I also had to prepare food for Schnelia.

It was a waste of time to focus on just one drink.

“I didn’t get any stars, but it’s okay to just end it like this—”

-Tap, clatter… !

“Hmm?”

Just as I was about to roughly fold the board,

Something touches the tip of my elbow.

It was one of those things that were taken out of the shelf like crazy to make cola.

“… Is this cinnamon powder? And cherry-flavored candy?”

As I was taking everything out, I saw that it was all on the table. At first, all I could think of when I saw these was to get rid of them…

‘For a moment? It’s cinnamon and cherry flavored candy… ?’

It was a very fleeting moment,

For a moment, my mind flashes.

As if lightning struck a dry sky.

Surprisingly, the scent of cola, which I had long forgotten, came to mind through sight.

After seeing the cinnamon and cherry flavored candies.

***

-Ugh, my waist. It’s going to be hard.

ㅡHow much more is left?

-Don’t count the number of boxes left. Because I am losing motivation.

-Damn it, no matter how much of a job we are, isn’t this too much?!

ㅡIs this something that started because of Yugo?

-Really? Is that real? When you’re done, ask to see that kid separately.

Time before the end of the academy’s work.

The front yard of the lounge becomes noisy.

As expected, the prisoners were still busy with the transport work.

In a little while, the sun will set and it will be time for the security department’s main job, patrol, to begin.

But my main job is a mess.

The transport work is still in full swing.

Even if the work ends earlier than expected, the main job is still waiting.

Since it was such a dark situation, everyone had no choice but to explode out in dissatisfaction.

-Grunt, whimper… !

Some of the weak prisoners groaned as if they were dying, as if they were exhausted from carrying a huge amount of corrosion.

“ Cheer up a little! We’re almost done now! And if it doesn’t go into the warehouse anymore, we’ll take care of the rest! When I return, I will have a company dinner tomorrow-!!!”

Berman encourages his subordinates

He was also tired from continuous duty work.

But he took responsibility and worked hard.

I couldn’t resist the breeder’s words that it was the principal’s instructions. Well, to be more precise, I was betrayed by the breeder.

‘Damn..! I feel like my back hurts. Never go near the break room again…’

Yugo, who started the incident, was also carrying large boxes while making a fuss.

The transport work continued until dusk darkened the ground.

How much time has passed?

“… Thank you all for your hard work!”

A man’s voice was heard at that time.

“Hmm? Suddenly something happened, breeder? “I guess they didn’t come out to laugh at us?”

According to Berman’s response, the person responsible for that voice was none other than the breeder. He approaches him, standing with a wide tray in his hand.

The tray was covered with a thin cloth. To prevent insects from being attracted.

“Is that possible? “It’s not polite to go out of your way to help someone.”

“Then what is the business? It ends within the next hour, so if you’re here to brush up on me, you’d better go back quickly. Everyone is on edge. “Me too.”

“No, it’s not like that. I came here to treat you to a drink as a token of gratitude. Everyone must have sweated a lot…”

ㅡChallang… !

At the same time as he said that, the breeder removed the cloth covering the tray.

A dark red drink with floating ice was prepared on the tray.

“Hmm? Is this perhaps Ah?”

“No, it’s a completely different drink from coffee. Give it a try. “It will probably quench your thirst.”

“Hmm, it was something like that… ? I was being too sensitive about this. “I’m sorry.”

“No. There is so much corrosion, right? I understand everything.”

“ Okay, 10 minute break! Let’s quench our thirst and try again! Everyone gather together-!!!”

“”Yes-!!!””

As Berman’s loud voice, resembling a lion’s hooves, rings out, all the prisoners stop what they are doing and gather around.

And then, as if they were all thirsty, everyone without exception took a glass of an unidentified drink.

“Breeder? What kind of drink is this?’

“It’s called Cola.”

“Cola? This is my first time hearing it. “It seems like something is sticking out, but I’m sure they didn’t put anything strange there, right?”

“Why would I do something like that? “If the manager collapses, who will take care of the corrosion?”

“Huh, well, it’s not wrong, but… “I have never seen a human being so bold in front of a lion in my entire life.”

Berman lets out an absurd laugh and soon puts a glass filled with Cola to his mouth. He knew very well that arguing with the breeder was pointless.

ㅡSuddenly… !

Then he pours the contents into his mouth his his in one go.

He was already thirsty.

Of course, not only Berman but other prisoners in the security department were in a similar state.

-Snap! Gulp… !!!

They all drank cola in one go to quench their thirst.

ㅡKuh, cough… ?!?!?!

ㅡCough, keheuk… ?!

ㅡHeep! Hey, does your neck hurt?

-Hiccup! Okay… ?!

Then everyone shows a consistent reaction.

Some were holding their necks and suffering,

The other guys coughed and hiccuped repeatedly.

A reaction as if the drink had been poisoned.

ㅡooooo!!!

Oh, of course, there were quite a few people who unintentionally burped because of the carbon dioxide gas.

“B-breeder… ! Your guy… ?!”

Berman, started by the sharp carbonation, frowned and glared at the breeder…

“Kid? Was the drink I gave you not that good? “That can’t be possible?”

He wasn’t scared at all; instead, he was smiling brightly. That’s because he was confident in the drink he created.

Moreover, he knew well that the beastmen would not be able to treat him carelessly. Because if you touched him wrongly, the security department itself could be destroyed.

“Under…! “I don’t know what your relationship is with the dragons, but you’re so bold when it comes to humans, aren’t you?”

“If you don’t like the taste, please tell me. “We will reflect your opinion and pay more attention next time.”

“Sheesh, seeing such a shameless reaction makes me so shocked that I’m not even angry. Anyway, this… “It’s not as bad as I thought.”

“Hmm? Weren’t you impressed just a moment ago?”

“I was just shocked for a moment because my throat felt sore. By the way, although this is similar to soda, it is a completely different drink, right? I hate to admit it, but… It’s definitely delicious! Admit it!”

“Oh. That’s a good thing!”

“Yes, I especially like the sweet cherry scent at the tip of my nose.”

ㅡSip, sip, sip… !

“… It feels like the more you drink, the more addicted you become.”

Berman, who looked like he was about to throw a lion’s hooter at any moment, soon relaxed his frown and looked sadly at the empty glass.

I just wasn’t used to the popping carbonated feeling,

I couldn’t resist the sweet, refreshing feeling.

I was quickly captivated by the addictive taste of cola and craving was it.

“Excuse me… Breeder? “Can you make me another cup of this?”

Wow… ? Please give us one more drink too, Manager!!!

-It tastes like cherries? Mine only smelled slightly of lime?

-I don’t like the taste of cherries! Something else than this!

-What do you think the cherry tastes like? It tasted like melted candy, didn’t it?

ㅡDon’t say anything that makes you throw your head around! It’s because you’ve never tried lime flavor!

The reactions of other prisoners were not bad either.

There was only a slight(?) Difference in likes and dislikes,

Everyone seemed satisfied and handed the empty cups to the breeder.

ㅡSigh!

At this, the breeder smiles broadly and moves his lips.

“Of course. Let me make more. But…”

“Hmm? But?”

“Please dispose of all remaining corrosion within 10 minutes. Then we’ll give you two more drinks instead of just one. “I also have to prepare for the deadline soon.”

“W-what? Anyway, 10 minutes… !”

“If you don’t like it, please take it slow. Instead, there is no cola. “If the steam is lost, it loses its taste.”

“Kkeuch-! Oh, I see… ! “Let’s give it a try!”

“Also! I thought Manager Berman would be able to do it. “Then can I ask you a favor?”

After that, Berman turned around and went back in a huff.

To resolve the remaining work for Cola.

“End of break-!!! Everyone, get moving! If you finish your work within 10 minutes, you can enjoy the drink you just had! Two drinks are provided each!!!”

And the breeder, who was watching this with a happy face, muttered softly to himself.

‘As planned… Now that we have drinks, is this the main dish?’
